Prayer for our First Communicants |
|
Join us in praying for the 92 Curé of Ars children who have been preparing to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion this year and who will complete their journey to God's table in April.
"O Jesus, You have loved us with such exceedingly great love as to give us the ineffable gift of the Holy Eucharist, inflame us with a burning zeal to promote Your glory by praying for our Curé Children to prepare worthily to approach Your holy table for the first time. Protect, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, these young souls from the assaults of evil, strengthen their faith, increase their love and endow them with all the virtues that will make them worthy to receive You. Amen."

We just celebrated the Solemnity of St. Joseph on March 19. St. Joseph is widely honored as the foster father of Jesus, husband to the Virgin Mary, and protector of the Catholic Church. As we continue our Lenten journey to Easter, we can all be encouraged to consider the individual virtues that strengthened St. Joseph in his roles. Through his model, we can find ways to strengthen our commitments in our lives.
To help you find ways to pray with and learn from St. Joseph, please visit https://archkck.org/yearofstjoseph/ to find great resources for individuals, families, parishes, and schools to grow during this year through the guidance of St. Joseph. |

Every third Monday of each month, Curé of Ars provides lunch at St. Mary’s Food Kitchen. Prior to March 17, 2020, Curé of Ars parishioners would prepare and serve a hot meal that was enjoyed in the dining room; averaging between 350-400 meals served. Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, St. Mary’s had to switch from hot lunches to sack lunches. The number of lunches Curé of Ars now provides is approximately 750-875.
How can you help? We will be collecting donations again on April 17. Please go online, https://cureofars.com/st-marys-food-kitchen to sign up to donate your food, water, time (help put together the lunch sacks), and/or give a monetary donation. We are also collecting reusable bags to help with distributing lunches.
